OK it's down to the RB20 or the SR20 which one should I go with? Can anyone help me with my choice. The people that have done the RB20 give me some Info and the people that have done the sr give me some info. Email me or pm me. Whatever cause i will be getting the motor within about 2 months.

rb and sr rebate has been done for like 342874327467 times, do a search to visit them and you'll find what YOU want. Anyone can sit here all day and argue why ca, sr, rb is better but I think it's safe to say that sr has the most aftertmarket support/oem replacement parts support. I personally feel because of this reason, sr20det would be the most practical engine to choose. They are all good motors anyways. There simply isn't just a best. Just how thick your wallet is. With my wallet, I'm getting the sr

Yeah try the red search button first, any motor as long as it is a NISSAN product, glad to see that you are coming away from the DSM junk.

Welcome!

Between the two, I'd suggest the *gulp* SR. Personally, I think that if you are going to take a .4L hit, you might as well not add the extra two cylinders.

But if we were talking SR series vs RB series, I'd say RB... RB25DET, that is.

LOL, with MY wallet, I'm getting the USDM-tyte KA24DE! Rah!
